I just upgraded my GSAK tonight to the latest and greatest (7.7.0.109). Clyde switched the entire program over to a new database structure (using SQLite).

I am amazed at how much faster the new version runs compared to the old one. I knew from reading stuff a couple of months ago that this was going to help improve efficiency when it came out, but it's an amazing difference.

It's probably not too noticeable on a smaller database, but if yours is larger then you'll probably notice the difference (I have about 38500 waypoints and just over 1.5 million logs in mine)._________________Hmm...

After reading your post, I did an update last night, my update took about 1 minute, and the loading screen was only up for a few seconds...but I only have two databases, one with 2000 caches, and one with 500 caches.
